Presenter: Bellamy Construction low bidder at $544,900 for Carol Senior Center water and sewer extension
Summary
Presenter said Bellamy Construction of Scotia submitted the low responsible bid of $544,900 (about $130,000 under a $675,000 budget) to extend water and sewer to the Carol Senior Center; the town will own the utility and the lines are being extended to support a planned commercial kitchen.
A project presenter updated the committee on the Carol Senior Center utilities project, saying the infrastructure work was split into two bids so contractors could be procured separately. At a public bid opening, Bellamy Construction Co. of Scotia was the low responsible bidder for the water and sewer utility extension at $544,900, which the presenter said is $130,000 less than an earlier $675,000 budget figure.
The presenter said the project design has gone through multiple iterations and that the town will be the owner responsible for maintenance of the extended utility district. The water and sewer lines will run along Route 32 and will terminate at the senior center site; the lines themselves will straddle both sides of the road but only the senior center will be connected initially. The presenter said the extensions are necessary because the county plans to install a commercial kitchen at the center.
Committee members asked about authorization and permitting; the presenter said the town-level approvals and district expansions have been completed and that the state-level approvals would be double-checked with the town attorney. The presenter also noted that accounting for brick sales and other project funds will be reported next month.
The transcript records the presenter's recommendation to award the contract to Bellamy Construction at $544,900 but does not include a recorded vote on that specific resolution in the excerpt provided.
Ending: Staff said contract documents and accounting details will be presented next month; the county will proceed with the second bid cycle for remaining site work in the August cycle.
